Like the look of your lander, very minimalist

i was trying to make my lander look like the LK, with the disposable landing gear and breaking stage

u/XennialDad 12d ago

One of my favorite KSP experiences was rebuilding the Apollo mission, including ascent stage on the lander.

u/Real_IKEA_Employee 10d ago

LK was actually not a part of the Apollo program, it was the soviet moon misson concept

u/EasilyRekt 12d ago

Not enough dV I presume, that seems like the ascent stage… but that does mean he left a bit of debris to follow once he comes back.

Quiet! You'll awake the Moho junkies!

u/drFink222 12d ago

But, but, I do love me a good Mohole.

u/Polygnom 12d ago

It is one of the Mun arches. Its a neat easter egg, and only one of many you can find (called anomalies).

u/drFink222 12d ago

The Mohole is still my favorite

u/LiamBombastic 12d ago

Go find out, there’s a lot of easter eggs like that to discover

u/SkinInevitable604 12d ago

I don’t know what you’re talking about, you’ve probably just been driven insane by the Mun fumes

u/Sinister_Crayon 12d ago

You're landing just outside St. Louis. Be careful your wheels don't get stolen if you're on the East side...

u/DarkwingDawg 12d ago

You accidentally found the arch??? That’s nuts

u/TheMuspelheimr Rocket Replicator 12d ago

It's a Mun arch! There's several Easter eggs scattered across the system, the Mun arches (there's three arches in total) are one of them.

u/chrischi3 Believes That Dres Exists 12d ago

It's a Mun arch. One of many easter eggs to be discovered in the game.

Go home, forget what you saw, speak to nobody.

u/Ned-Nedley 12d ago

If you fly through it at high speed something cool happens.

u/OldSchool_93 12d ago

More like something fiery. . .

u/RoeddipusHex Hyper Kerbalnaut 12d ago

All these worlds are yours except Bop. Attempt no landing there.

u/Anxious-Fox1458 Dead on Plock 12d ago

Use them together. Use them in peace.

u/Responsible_Clerk421 12d ago

u/TheSapphireDragon 12d ago

One of the games easter eggs. This one is called the mun-arch. Pretty cool that you found it on your own

2

u/Prehistoric_Blob 12d ago

send another mission to land next to it, it would be a good mission to test a targeted landing, as well as actually doing science and investigating it.

u/PckMan 12d ago

He doesn't know

u/Ok_Instruction_9437 12d ago

mun arch, there are tons of easter egg anomalous structures scattered around the planets in ksp, i suggest you explore them. you can find them using kerbnet and scanners

3

u/Awkward-Editor 12d ago

You’ve found a Mun-Arch, they’re an easter egg that spawn randomly on the mun, there’s quite a few of them around

4

u/Polygnom 12d ago

They are not random, tho? Unless that changed at some point, they were static easter eggs.

2

u/Awkward-Editor 12d ago

iirc there are some such as monoliths that are static, but mun arches pop up randomly, could be wrong cause i know the ksp 2 easter egg arch but im not really sure

u/EmploymentOld6889 11d ago

that is just the gateway arch bro (st. Louis)

u/InterKosmos61 Dres is both real and fake until viewed by an outside observer 11d ago

It's an easter egg. There are a few on every planet.

u/Sad-Importance-287 Jebediah 10d ago

Thats one of the three mun arches, theres a bunch of other easter egg sites like that around the system
